Yes man!? I don't think so slim, I'm the farthest thing from a "yes man" that there could possibly be. Not your fault I guess. American Born Teamster Sworn. Let's just pray that we stay in business, I could never work for a non-union outfit. What a horrible thought.

I'm a 4th generation teamster in addition to some uncles and cousins. Can't even stomach the thought of going to a non-union outfit. This was my last driving job application.

This pos hasn't made a dime in YEARS. We gave concessions equaling almost a BILLION $ yellow loses hundreds of millions per year still. The equipment is being run into the ground. OR is way too high. Company is over 1,000,000,000 in debt. Pension is endangered. And the company has now said it won't meet its debt covenants. Where is the bright spot? New logo? New name? The old boss is back? You need to join us in reality.
better go and find that rainbow and lollypop thread .
Actually there's not much difference between nonunion and ANY union company - of which there are very few these days, or haven't you noticed.
Well, if you would pull your head out from up your a** and look around, you'd see. But from the way you talk that's a hopeless suggestion.
Wow, you mean all the talk on the news about the recession is just a con game started by YRCW to get us to work for less? You are profound beyond belief! PS - You're obviously such a talented, productive guy that any company would love to have you. Why don't you go work for ABF where you'll be appreciated.
Actually I wonder how brain dead types like you just don't get it. But then again, that's your problem not mine.

Give it a rest joe. Union carriers were easy prey. We never had to fight for a dime. We ***** them for decades. So the great ATM got caught with their pants down and is loaded up with debt and too high cost. Not to worry joe..no more give backs. You and the crew helped the struggling giant to get on their feet and you'll keep on doing what the IBT tells you to do to keep YRC rolling.

You guys are insane..lol.back and forth.I worked under Mr.Welch.I also feel he is a good principled man.I also know he and Zollars didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things.escpecially about how Zollars and his crew.were stealing money from the people.that made these companies work.
Look,I understand some of the bitterness and mistrust.that some of us harbor.you couldn't ask for a better leader and business person.that we are all blessed to have in Mr.Welch.The paycuts and pension cuts.alveit that it is a tough pill to swallow.I'm here to tell you.that we are heading in the right direction at yrcw.we will experience some bumps in the road.we will survive.

The management that we have can fudge and skew the numbers any way they want to. If you are told to wait for a load, your job is to wait for a load. They put sleeper teams to bed and run stuff on the rail, they cancel bids that work to make it look like we can't pick up freight so that reddaway is justified in taking it and they work harder to work against you than with you. It's a climate that is created to show(on paper) that they are trying to do something. The reality is that regardless of how much we put in, their numbers are going to show that we are a bunch of deadbeats. They have the magic pen.
Mr. Welch and Mr. Rogers may be good guys but they are relying on the numbers that come from supervisors who aren't worried about anything other than covering their butts. I keep hoping that we are heading in the right direction but there is always a new line coming from management. Drivers are constantly finding contradictions in the company's stories as well as some of the B.S. from the IBT. I think that a lot of us are just waiting to see something rather than taking anybodys word that things are gonna be O.K..
Not sure how my disagreement with your ideas made me a Bend-Over-Billy but we'll go with it....Do you really believe Road Drivers hooking sets will make a company Viable? That was the only real money saver I seen from you. I was not sure if you suggested no clock time pay and forgoing Pension, I wanted to give ya the benifit of having some sense. Once "Clock Time Pay" is gone you get all kinds of "Clock Time".....trust me. And may I suggest when ya start paying dues ya then get the right to tell my union how things should be. I tell ya what ya got to look forward to $14- $16 an hour no mater if ya have a card or not....Ain't gonna be long no American is gonna haul Mexican frieght,,,,I seen it with the Canadian Border it will happen again....And if nobody wants to insist on a pension and work by the mile without Delay time it is not something I concern myself with......So get with the times man..your gonna enjoy it.
